Abstract

Monitoring circulating progesterone concentration (P4) is an important component of basic and applied reproduction re­search and clinical settings. Radioimmunoassay (RIA) is con­sidered the gold standard method for measuring P4 in sheep blood, but it generates radioactive waste, has low throughput and requires licensed facilities. Immulite® 2000XPI (Siemens) is a fully automated immunoassay system marketed for human use to measure concentrations of different analytes including P4. Our objectives were therefore to: 1) validate sheep serum P4 measurement with the Immulite 2000XPI; and 2) characterize the analytical performance of the Immulite 2000XPI P4 immu­noassay (IPI) across the reportable concentration range.
